Y'know I just got Ascension for $10 on PSN, after a 35gb download (holy fucking shit), I found it to be the best of the series aside from III. I never thought there was much to the games anyway, and there wasn't too much story to the other games except, revenge, betrayal, more revenge, MORE BETRAYAL, Kill the Gods. Thats pretty much it. But I found Ascension to be just as good as the other games, better in a few areas. I did have an issue with some camera angles, but it hasn't been unplayable as of yet. Also the graphics as you mentioned are some of the best I've seen on the PS3, and run pretty damn smoothly. It makes me wonder what the hell other dev's aren't doing right because god damn is Ascension pretty.DanielBrown said:Mine would be God of War: Ascension.
I'm a huge fan of the God of War games and have played them all(except for Ascension, which I've only beaten once) several times. Ascension had extremely pretty graphics and environments, but not much else. Combat was the same as ever, but the camera zoomed out way too often and way too far. Often I had no clue where Kratos was and what was enemies. Took me quite a while to understand what little story there was as well.
Another thing would be Kratos himself. Since I've only played it once my memory might be fussy, but from what I recall he hardly had any lines in the entire game. He also hardly used any expressions, so it felt like I played as a Kratos doll.
Extremely disappointed, but at least I didn't buy it at full price.
I bought it on launch and was dissapointed on the same day. SC2 wasn't really that good in terms of continuing the story but I was fine with it. After all, SC 1 and BW werent that great in those departements either. HotS just blew it all up. I was so dissapoint.Fireaxe said:Starcraft 2: Heart of the Swarm.
Not disappointing because it was actually bad, but the Campaign was really poor next to, say, Brood War.
I have similar feelings for GTA V. I haven't played AC IV, and in fact didn't play a lot of new games this year. But while I've had a blast with GTA, it's also been problematic. Especially the online, which is the primary reason I wanted it.Casual Shinji said:Oddly enough my most disappointing game is also one of my favourite games of the year; Assassin's Creed 4.
See, my expectations for Tomb Raider were low enough that I wasn't really disappointed. In fact, I would have paid more than the 10 (?) I did for it had I known it'd be better than I expected. But then, that's all relative.Andy Shandy said:While it wasn't a bad game, Tomb Raider is definitely the worst "good" game that I've played in a while. There's nothing particularly bad about it, but there's nothing great about it at all either. Personally have no idea how it ended up on so many "potential GOTY" lists. The best thing to come out of it was Miracle Of Sound's song about it, honestly.
But everybody EXPECTED sim city and colonial marines to be shit even before they released. These are just plain bad gamesRblade said:ugh as expected. Calling infinite the biggest dissapointment in a year that brought us colonial marines and the new simcity. 2 games based on absolute classics in 2 genres, yet being just straight up broken and riddled with bad decisions. makes you either to hip for the mainstream or shows that you expected that game to cure all the worlds diseases. The world looked just fantastic and vibrant, elizabeth was in my eyes the best executed sidekick to date and the plot managed to actually surprise me in places. And I loved songbird, so menacing and ever present in a skycity. Was it overly convoluted with subpar combat, sure. But biggest dissapointment, please.
On a sidenote, I always feel people seem to misremember that bioshock 1 didn't end after ryan. Still one of the best games I've ever played but the ending wasn't that amazing
